registered pharmacy technician - direct hire, 16-month contract.

Are you a Registered Pharmacy Technician seeking hands-on training, stability, and a strong career trajectory? This 16-month contract role based in Burlington offers just that — the chance to step into a highly specialized sterile compounding setting, work alongside an experienced and welcoming team, and receive best-in-class training that can set the stage for the possibility of a permanent future with the organization. We cannot guarantee that will happen, but by completing this contract, you'll gain exceptional experience and add a world-class organization to your resume!

This role is ideal for both newly licensed technicians eager to develop compounding expertise, and seasoned RPhTs who are looking for a focused, non-retail opportunity in a well-supported environment. Previous contract staff have transitioned into long-term roles here — and the same path may be yours. This is more than just a contract — it’s a launchpad for long-term growth in a specialized area of pharmacy that truly makes a difference. If you’re motivated, adaptable, and eager to learn, this could be the opportunity that moves your career forward. Apply today!
